partipate in a new adventure. At 9:00am, the beginning of the Sunday school hour, for 30 minutes, we will be offering a Children’s Choir for all

ages, They will be rehearsing weekly and will be singing for the 175th

Anniversary Worship Celebration at First Protestant Church. We’re

excited and look forward to seeing all the children come and be a part of

this new program!

Postlude “Christ for the World We Sing” ~ Lani Smith

Thina SonkeOur anthem this morning, “Thina Sonke,” is a South African hymn in the Zulu dialect brought to world prominence through the performances of the Children of Agape Choir, an ensemble of children from the Agape orphanage, which is committed to caring for the Children of Africa who lost their parents during the AIDS epidemic. The text is reflective of the diversity and spirit of the people of South Africa and is actually in ‘Jo-burg Zulu’, a mixture of Zulu and Xhosa. Two verses sung by soloists are given response by the chorus during the refrain. Vs. 1: Father, we ask you to please give all of us strength in the world.Vs. 2: We trust in you, Father. We trust in you, Creator.Chorus: All of us on earth (in all the world).
